this is moronic
for instance, i am very very opinionated about math. i fucking despise combinatorics and algebra, can't understand why anyone would bother with discrete probability, etc. etc.
and yet i absolutely love analysis and (modern) geometry.
liking high school competition math might make you a good combinatorist or some dumb shit, but it has no bearing on your analysis skills
of course, in america we have the putnam for uni which does have analysis (but also lots of other things)
i don't know my dude, sounds like you need to get out of your little circlejerk if you think that all mathematicians unironically enjoyed competition math. there are just so, so many better and more fun ways for people to spend their time.
